The start of the school year is slowly approaching, which means summer is almost over. With this in mind, I thought I would do a post on my favourite summer pieces. This summer I have been all about the prep/nautical/floral looks. I simply love timeless, classic pieces that can be mixed and matched. However, I will enjoy incorporating all the summer trends in the fall!

Last night, my friend and I decided to have a girl’s night in. Hence make a lovely dinner followed by dessert (Oreo truffles!) and a movie. Oh and of course catch up and gossip! The dish that we made was amazing and quite simple to make. Just a quick note: I substituted the leeks for green onions and did not use the chicken stock as my friend is vegetarian. Also, you can make the sauce and breadcrumbs ahead of time and boil the pasta just before you need it.

1)Bring
a large pot of salted water to boil and add tagliatelle. Cook according to
package directions or until just al dente. Drain, reserving ¼ cup (50 mL) pasta
cooking water.

2)Heat
1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp (5 mL)
chopped garlic and bread crumbs and sauté until breadcrumbs are crisp, about 2
minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped parsley, season with salt and transfer
to a bowl. Reserve.

3)Heat
remaining 3 tbsp (45 mL) oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add
leeks and sauté for 1 minute or until slightly softened. Add mushrooms and
remaining 2 tsp (10 mL) garlic and cook another 3 minutes or until mushrooms
are limp and exuding some juice. Stir in lemon rind and 2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon
juice. Add stock and basil leaves and cook for 30 seconds or until basil has
just wilted. Season well with salt and pepper.

4) Using the Oreo and cream cheese mixture,
shape into balls with your hands and place on tray with foil. Then let
rest in the freezer for at least 15 minutes—this will help everything stay
together when you dip them in chocolate.

5) Next, dip the balls in the melted
chocolate and place back on the tray

6) Once complete, place tray in the fridge
for an hour, to allow the chocolate to set.
